How compatible are the various ZFS forks?
Is it possible to create ZFS volume on macOS and mount it on Linux, FreeBSD and Illumos all the same?
I'm asking because we are still missing a good cross-platform filesystem with modern journaling and snapshotting.

(The various OpenZFS platforms all default to enabling all the feature flags they know about on pool creation if you don't specify otherwise, which can mean either read-only or no access to said pool on other platforms that don't know what those flags are.)
